Czech Republic, Poland & Hungary are breaking EU laws

European Court of Justice lawmaker Elenor Sharpston says the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland violate EU law by refusing to comply with the European bloc's migrant quota.

In her view, the EU's highest court should rule that the three countries have not fulfilled their obligations under EU law, the AP reported.

In 2015, European nations agreed to resettle 160,000 refugees from Italy and Greece, overwhelmed by the arrival of hundreds of thousands of migrants.

The Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland, however, have refused to accept even a single migrant in the two years since that agreement.

Off-Topic / DALMATIA - How much Poles love Dalmatia ? [123]

At the treaty of London in 1915 which was organized by the Brits, when King Aleksandar of Serbia was given a choice by the Brits (who wanted to compensate Italy for changing sides during WWI by rewarding them with territory and giving them northern Dalmatia, the city of Rijeka "Fiume") to form Greater Serbia or Yugoslavia he chose the latter, despite hearing several warnings from his advisers not to do so... Serbia would have received southern half of Dalmatia, the whole of Bosnia, Slavonia... but no he chose instead to go on and liberate "fellow Slavs", what a huge mistake that was. In the end it costed him his life.

At the same time, the EU is precisely the mechanism that allows free trade to spread with as few side effects as possible. Implementation of uniform, mainly Western, standards in all countries (Poland and Romania must meet standards on employee rights, environmental protection, etc., which China or Bangladesh do not have to). Structural assistance to poorer countries to reach the level of the richer over time. Fully opening the markets of these poorer countries (which is not the case, for example, with China, India) to the western richer ones. Finally, free movement alone makes the Eastern European workforce more expensive - when large numbers of workers go West and the economy grows, wages go up locally.

But now that under Blair alone, Britain decided not to apply a 7-year restriction on the free movement of people from the new member states in 2004, that was just her problem and her sovereign decision, no one was forcing her.

Whatever they may say,

We East Europeans are the healthiest part of Europe today!

;)

In Poland there is a similar saying:

Co kraj to obyczaj,
co rodzina to zwyczaj.

Piękne przysłowie, które mówi nam,
że każdy kraj i region,
posiada swoją unikatową kulturę
i tradycję w obrębie świata.
